Training permits
Electrical work training permit allows a person to do particular training and gain the experience needed for eligibility requirements of an electrical work licence.
Permit holders may need to complete a structured on-the-job program coordinated by a supervising registered training organisation(s).
Delivery and assessment of accredited training resulting in a qualification or statement of attainment for electrical licence eligibility must include practical assessments of competencies using electrical industry endorsed training packages and relevant electro technology tools and equipment.
The chief executive may not deem a person competent if not satisfied that the RTO that provides a qualification or statement of attainment has relevant electro technology resources.
The following people do not need a permit to complete training:
- electrical apprentices
- trainees in an approved program
- students of electrical work being supervised by teaching staff at an approved university, college or school.
